Candid TV Suspension 75 ml is used to treat fungal skin infections, such as seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff) and tinea versicolor (a small patch of discoloured skin). It contains Clotrimazole and Selenium sulfide, which work by killing fungi and help to relieve itching and flaking of the scalp and remove the dry, scaly particles. Also, it reduces skin damage due to infection by decreasing flaking or scaling of the skin, which helps in new skin formation. Thus, it helps to treat various fungal skin infections and dandruff on the scalp. It may cause common side effects like itching, dryness, redness, swelling, and burning sensation at the application site.
I have been experiencing recurrent Tinea Versicolor for the past 5 years, affecting my neck, upper back, chest, and arms, especially during the monsoon. Despite maintaining hygiene and taking antifungal treatments like Fole 150 and Candid TV suspension, it keeps recurring. What is the best long-term treatment and prevention strategy?
G.santoshini Reddy

Recurrent Tinea Versicolor is quite common, especially in warm and humid weather like the monsoon, because the yeast that causes it naturally lives on the skin and can overgrow again even after treatment. Medicines like Fole 150 and antifungal lotions such as Candid TV help clear the infection, but they may not prevent it from coming back. For long-term control, the focus should be on both treatment and prevention. Your doctor may advise using an antifungal body wash or lotion (for example, once a week or once a month) even after the spots have cleared, to keep the fungus under control. Keeping your skin dry is very important. Try to avoid staying in sweaty clothes, wear loose cotton fabrics, and dry your skin well after bathing. During seasons when it usually comes back, starting preventive treatment early can help reduce flare-ups. Also, remember that the light or dark patches may take a few weeks to return to normal colour even after the fungus is gone, so do not worry if the marks fade slowly. If the condition keeps recurring despite these steps, it is best to follow up with a doctor for a tailored long-term plan.

Frequent fungal infections under the foreskin in someone with mild diabetes can be managed by keeping the area clean and dry, practising good hygiene, and using antifungal creams as prescribed by a doctor.
